Our Facilities

With four EMC testing chambers, we are the only accredited electrical testing laboratory in Ireland and feature the most up to date test equipment.

The use of the chambers is essential for repeated broadband interference free sweeps of the spectrum, which reduces client expense by assisting in development of cost effective product designs. Our facilities also lend themselves to pre-compliance testing. Our rural location was specifically chosen to ensure minimum background electrical noise to disrupt our open area test site.

Our facilities include:

• Large Semi-Anechoic Chamber is 18m x 13m with capacity for vehicles and fully compliant to CISPR 16. This chamber provides a fully compliant 10m test range in a quiet environment ensuring fast and accurate tests reducing the cost to the client
• Fully Anechoic Room (3m range) (9m X 6.7m) is also qualified for radio testing and emissions above 1 GHz
• Radiated immunity anechoic chamber, which conforms to the requirements of the latest radio-frequency standard, EN 61000-4-3. The chamber also performs radiated emissions measurements without interference from ambient broadcast signals
• A large purpose built turntable with capacity to accommodate equipment up 5m long and 5 tonne weight

CEI was recently visited by GE staff Darren Montgomery (GE Quality Leader) and Zainub Najmudin (GE Intern) from GE Renewable Energy Group to make a promotional video for their company. The theme was to understand how EMC testing is conducted on GE products. They kindly agreed to allow us to share it here.
